Booked 3 suites at the cosmo with 10 of my best degenerates!  What's the best way to watch the games?  I hear the books are insane.  Should we book a table somewhere?  Any thoughts/advice are greatly appreciated.

BOL to the forum in the coming weeks.

I'll be posting plays early every day.

One of the first things I would do would be to fund an account to bet remotely from your phone. That way you don’t have to d.i.c.k with the lines. Oh, and drink lots of water. Lol
There’s no going back, and there’s no hiding the information. So let everyone have it.

Not worried about my wagers, I'm concerned with being able to sit somewhere and watch all the games.

Never been to Cosmo, but have been to some other books for March Madness (years ago)

Send 2 or 3 guys down an hour or so before the first game and they should easily be able to grab seats in the book for all of you.  It is a lot of fun watching games in the book, with all the gambling degens rooting for sh-t you never normally hear people root for...

I'm jealous. First year in about 5 that I'm not making it out. Depending how nuts you are I'd personally recommend going to Caesars and posting up at the half moon shape bar directly behind the sportsbook.  I'd get there about 230-3 Weds AM and grab a couple spots at the bar and take your iPad and do your research right there at the bar. Place your wagers around 630-7 and have a Bloody Mary and let the games begin. The atmosphere of about 5,000 people when the games get close is worth it and if you are at the bar you'll have the best seat in the house and maybe even get approached by a couple high end hookers who will trade you a winning ticket for their services. Damn...wish I was there to join!!!

It's changed a bit from a few years ago - more crazy. Guys stake out seats in the middle of the night and hang out for hours trading off with guys. So if you really want to have seats in the book, you'll need to dedicate several guys to sitting there for up to 6 hours before the games. 

I usually am there by myself (total degenerate solo stuff, I know) and walk from book to book in the casinos trying to time out the 2nd half of games. It's fun to experience the energy of all the casino books throughout the day and night of games. 

You can usually scrounge a seat for a bit or just stand and watch the last 7 minutes of a game then move on to another casino to watch the next set of games and so on. That is my weird but fun way of doing it because I don't like to be plopped down and committed to one little area for the entire day - that gets exhausting to me.

Caesars is the most comfortable book in vegas right now. You'll have to pay about $300-$500 per seat for all day access, and it comes w/ unlimited drinks.  I highly recommend Caesars book.

It’s the best. Going for about the 10th year in a row. We stay at the Wynn. It’s a blast. Tables are tough to get unless you get down there early. Have a great time

The best place to watch the games is sitting at a blackjack table and have the pit boss put it on the game you want to watch, I stay at nyny and this will be our sixth year in a row

Do all the casinos offer this type of service outside of nevada, seems like a money making grab.

I will be at the Wynn Encore theater to watch at least for day 1. My friend and I had a watch party reserved and paid for but they cancelled it on friday. We thought we were screwed but hope the wynn setup is good.

We are willing to adjust if someone knows something better.

As someone who's been to Vegas countless of times for MM and will be there again at the Pallazo this weekend. ( lets meet up and have a drink ). Tables all over the strip in the books are completely sold out. They've been sold out since about a week after Super Bowl ends. You'll have places like the Wynn and MGM open up their theater rooms with stadium seating but we all know thats not the same as sitting around the table with your friends. And you just had to stay at the hotel with the smallest book on the strip huh? Yeah your best bet is finding a restaurant or something that will host all you guys as were about only a few days away and everything as in tables are sold out.

Good luck bud and let me know if you have any other questions.

You've never been to Vegas during MM have you ? people arrive as early as 5am claiming seats. Try walking down an hour before the game and you will NEVER find a seat
